“Rachel does it again! A fun, steamy story.”
—Carly Phillips, New York Times bestselling author

What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there, as New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Gibson delightfully demonstrates in her smart and sexy romance, Any Man of Mine. The story of a successful wedding planner whose world is turned upside-down when the man she once impetuously married in a quickie Las Vegas ceremony bursts unexpectedly back into her life, Any Man of Mine is pure joy—a beautiful marriage of the wit, heart, and sensuality that is a hallmark of two-time RITA® Award winner Gibson, solidifying her equal standing among Jennifer Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and Nora Roberts as the crème de la crème of contemporary romance fiction.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The NHL ought to pay writer Rachel Gibson big bucks.” — USA Today

“Gibson’s straightforward story of “the one,” and the one that got away, is wrapped in sexual tension so hot your palms will sweat.” — Booklist

“With humor and eloquent prose, Gibson brings substance and depth to this loving, modern romance.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) on True Love and Other Disasters

“Rachel Gibson does it again! A fun, steamy story that also tugs at the heartstrings. A perfect Valentine’s Day read.” — Carly Phillips

From the Back Cover

What happens in Vegas . . . doesn't always stay there.

Autumn Haven's Las Vegas "to-do" list said to catch a show and play the slots—not wake up married to a sexy jerk like Sam LeClaire. The first moment she saw him eyeing her like a luscious piece of the dessert buffet, her usually responsible self told her to run. And she did—right into the wildest fantasy weekend of her life. But Monday morning jolted her back to reality, and before she could say "pass the coffee," Sam was gone.

Now a successful wedding planner, Autumn hasn't clapped eyes on the heartbreaking hockey superstar for over two years . . . until she organizes his teammate's "Special Day," where Sam makes a big play to pick up where he left off! But she has vowed any man of hers plays for keeps. Is Sam the man for her or does she banish him to the sin bin forever?

Hockey players in a romance novel - What's not to love?

This is the first book I have read by Ms. Gibson and I was not disappointed. The story, which I won't bother repeating, while not original was well plotted and had a good pace. The main characters, Sam and Autumn, are smart, funny and realistic about their expectations of one another. The reuniting of them as lovers, and later as a committed couple, did not seem contrived or improbable.

What can I say? The sex is hot, the men are hotter, and Ms. Gibson really knows her hockey which made it a perfect romance for me. And how can you not love a man standing on your doorstep in the pouring rain???

I polished this book off in a day because I couldn't put it down. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun story, but I'm glad Sam wasn't 'any man of mine'!...
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2011

Autumn Haven married hockey player Sam LeClaire in a Las Vegas wedding chapel six years ago. Their marriage may have been over before it started, but it did last long enough for Autumn to get pregnant with their son, Connor. For the past five years Autumn has been raising Connor alone, with little more than financial support from Sam. Meanwhile Sam has been enjoying the lifestyle of a rich, single sports star - super models, parties and expensive toys. Sam finally decides that he wants to be more involved in Connor's life, and Autumn finds herself being unwillingly charmed by the same man she swore she'd never be able to forgive.

I didn't care for either Sam or Autumn when the story started. Autumn was prickly and argumentative and seemingly hell-bent on finding fault with everything Sam did. However, as we learn their "back story", I could totally see where Autumn was coming from. Sam had hurt her horribly with his actions towards her and Connor and her antipathy towards him was completely understandable.

Sam is what I've come to call Rachel Gibson's typical hockey hero: Arrogant, conceited, gorgeous and completely self-absorbed. To be fair, the author gave him the insurmountable task of redeeming himself after he had treated Autumn abominably and pretty much ignored his own son for the first five years of the boy's life. Ouch. I don't know if there's any way he could have redeemed himself, but honestly he didn't have to put a whole lot of effort into it - one peek at Sam's stunning six pack abs and Autumn seemed willing to forgive just about anything! Sam had the self awareness of a rock. He didn't seem to know why he fell for Autumn in the first place, why he left her in such a cowardly fashion or why he couldn't be bothered to be much of a father to his son. In the end I was left with the feeling that he really didn't know why he wanted to get back together with her.

I did like the pacing of the story, with the couple's Vegas interlude told in flashback and the dialog was nicely done. Connor was a believable five year old; no precocious adult-like wisdom or annoying baby-talk. I enjoyed the humor and yes, Sam was a tool, but he was a charming and sexy one and the love scenes are pleasantly steamy. I'm not sure what to make of Vince, Autumn's brother. I've never noticed sequel bait in one of Rachel Gibson's books, but I have to assume that Vince gets his own story in another book because otherwise his character was pretty pointless.

And don't get me started on Chelsea's breast reduction surgery! Didn't we learn all we needed to know about that in  Nothing But Trouble  ?

So in the end I find myself in an awkward spot when it comes to this story. I did enjoy it - it was a fast read and very entertaining, but honestly I never could see where Sam redeemed himself in Autumn's eyes and I certainly didn't buy into the happily-ever-after.

Rachel Gibson is my favorite contemporary adult authors and I have all of her books. My favorite book of hers is Truly, Madly Yours.

The story starts with Faith and Ty's wedding which is being organized by Autumn Haven. Haven and Sam had a wild fling in Vegas more than 5 years ago during an emotional time in both their lives. They got carried away and got married within a couple of days. the day after the wedding Autumn wakes up to find Sam gone. The next time she hears from him is through his lawyer asking for a divorce. She discovers she is pregnant and he demands a paternity test. Sam meets his son Conner about a week after his birth. During the first couple years of Conner's life, Sam and Autumn's relationship is toxic. They hate each other and don't get along at all. When a really bad argument is witnessed by their son they agree to not see each other anymore. Sam has his assistants pick up and drop off Conner the couple times he has him. After another bad argument Sam decides he needs to be a better dad and starts spending more time with Conner and therefore spends more time with Autumn. Autumn thinks that this is a phase and he will go back to his old ways but he sticks to it. After spending more time he starts thinking about more ways he can spend time with Autumn. He soon starts popping in more into Autumn's life, inviting them to hockey games, popping in on Halloween and inviting himself for Thanksgiving. He remembers what it was about Autumn that made him crazy about her all those years ago and he starts falling for her and wanting to be a real family. After popping in on them on their vacation they end up sleeping together again. But Autumn believes he will hurt her again and every time he gets close she pushes him away. Sam soon realizes that she may never forgive him for what happened in Vegas and he starts to withdraw too. After a conversation with her brother Vince she realizes she needs to forgive Sam for hurting in order to move on and have a real relationship with his.
I really enjoyed this book. I'm a sucker for re-kindled love stories and this story was no exception. After briefly reading about Sam LeClaire from most of her other hockey books it was nice to finally get to hear his story. Even though some readers might not have liked Autumn's character I did. Yeah she was bitter but she had a really good reason. I liked the fact that Sam knew about his son even if he wasn't really present in his life. I don't really like books where there is a secret child. It is always nice to hear updates about the rest of the couples from past hockey books like Ty and Faith, Mark and Chelsea and even Jules and Bo. The only downside was that this story reminded me to much of Rachel's first novel Simply Irresistible. In both books the main characters have a fling which results in a child. I kept confusing both plots and when I finished reading Any Man of Man I thought "what happened to the scene where she plans the party for the owner of the Chinooks, Mr. Duffy?" Then I remembered he's dead and I was thinking about the wrong book.

A memorable character for me was Autumn's brother Vince. I love how he is so protective of his sister and automatically hated Sam. But towards he end of the book he realizes that Sam really does love his sister and he has a talk with her about forgiveness. Then he leaves to do some mysterious thing and we don't hear more from him until the epilogue. Know I want to know what it is he left to do and I have to wonder if he will be the one of the main characters from Rachel's new book Rescue Me which comes out May 29, 2012.

I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars!

Well written as all of Rachel Gibson's books are Spolier alter. I don't feel like the hero even tried to ask for forgiveness and the heroine didn't even try and move on or have a life she just sat around waiting for the hero to finish sleeping with every available women before he decided he loved her again and then she got over her anger and just got back with him just like that. I am beyond frustrated.

I thoroughly enjoyed Any Man of mine and as soon as i had read it i bough another 5 books about the same characters. Took you into another world of glamour and fame with some romance but also with a hint of boy meets girl. Would definitely recommend this author to others and hope that Rachel Gibson will be writing a few more sequels

Der neue Roman von RG hat mir wieder sehr gut gefallen. Da ich beide neuen Bücher soeben hintereinander gelesen habe, kann ich sagen, dass er mir besser als Nothing But Trouble gefallen hat. Es ist nicht die übliche Geschichte, das beide sich kennen lernen, erst ständig streiten und nach wenigen Wochen doch feststellen, dass sie füreinander bestimmt sind. Nein, Autumn und Sam haben eine Vorgeschichte und einen gemeinsamen Sohn. Gerade das macht die Handlung für mich etwas realistischer und dennoch zu einer tollen Liebesgeschichte. Perfekt für den Urlaub. Die beiden Bücher waren die ersten, die ich von RG auf englisch gelesen habe. Der Schreibstil ist leicht verständlich und man tut dennoch was für seine Englischkenntnisse ;-)
